The article considers the methodological aspects of the theoretical investigation of marine power plants with thermochemical fuel treatment. The results of the study of the complex influence of temperature, pressure, and the ratio of steam / base fuel on the thermochemical treatment efficiency are presented. The adequacy of the obtained regression dependences was confirmed by the physical modelling of thermochemical fuel treatment processes. For a gas turbine power complex with a thermochemical fuel treatment system, the characteristics of the power equipment were determined separately with further merging of the obtained results and a combination of material and energy flow models. Algorithms, which provide settings for the mathematical models of structural and functional blocks, the optimisation of thermochemical energy transformations, and verification of developed models according to the indicators of existing gas turbine engines, were created. The influence of mechanical energy consumption during the organisation of thermochemical processing of fuel on the efficiency of thermochemical recuperation is analysed.
AbstractNatural frequencies and vibration modes of axial compressor blades are investigated. A refined mathematical model based on the usage of an eight-nodal curvilinear isoparametric finite element was applied. The verification of the model is carried out by finding the frequencies and vibration modes of a smooth cylindrical shell and comparing them with experimental data. A high-precision experimental setup based on an advanced method of time-dependent electronic interferometry was developed for this aim. Thus, the objective of the study is to verify the adequacy of the refined mathematical model by means of the advanced time-dependent electronic interferometry experimental method. The divergence of the results of frequency measurements between numerical calculations and experimental data does not exceed 5 % that indicates the adequacy and high reliability of the developed mathematical model. The developed mathematical model and experimental setup can be used later in the study of blades with more complex geometric and strength characteristics or in cases when the real boundary conditions or mechanical characteristics of material are uncertain.
The compact installation and technology for determining vibration characteristics by the ESPI method has been created. The experimental determination of the dynamic characteristics of a diamond circular blade with a diameter of 203.4 mm and a thickness of 1.19 mm using real-time electronic speckle interferometry is presented. 15 mode shapes of vibration were detected in the range from 100 to 5000 Hz. The program calculation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes is carried out for three values of the clamping inner diameter (42 mm, 44 mm, 46 mm). The options for calculating a disk with a rim and without a rim are considered. It is shown that the minimum mean squared error of the calculation is achieved for the values of the diameter of the disk 46 mm, 42 mm and 44 mm for the number of nodal circles 0, 1 and 2, respectively. To verify the accuracy of the interferometer, experimental, computational and analytical studies of console steel rod 200 × 22.25 × 3.78 mm in size were carried out.
A description of the stand based on a digital speckle interferometer with a diffuse reference wave and separated branches is given, which allows determining the natural frequencies and vibration modes of objects in real time. In the frequency range 100...4000 Hz, an experimental study of the vibration characteristics of a turbine rotor blade of a gas turbine engine was carried out, with rigid fastening of the blade fir tree part, which was achieved by fixing the blade in the lock and then fixing it in the clamping device. In the frequency range from 100 to 4000 Hz, 9 blade vibration modes were identified. The object of the study is the turbine rotor blade of a gas turbine engine with a height along the trailing edge of 288 mm and a chord in the middle section of 88.5 mm. A solid-state geometric model of a rotor blade based on a faceted body obtained from 3D scanning has been created. Concerning the frequency range 100...4000 Hz, using the ANSYS Workbench software package, a series of calculations of the resonant frequencies of the blade by the finite element method was carried out. Many vibration modes have been obtained, and the data obtained from experiments and calculations have been compared. The analysis of the spectrum of the natural vibration frequencies of the blade showed that the root-mean-square value of the deviations between the results obtained is 5.5% for the same modes. To verify the software calculation, the values of the resonance frequencies were recalculated using a three-dimensional model of the blade fixed in the lock. To determine the influence of the boundary conditions for fixing a gas turbine blade on its vibration characteristics, a series of calculations of the resonance frequencies and vibration modes of the blade model with cutting off a part of the blade at different heights was carried out. It is shown that cutting off the fir tree part of the blade root when modeling the boundary conditions of fixing makes it possible to simplify the calculation process by simplifying the geometry of the three-dimensional model of the blade under study, with a minimum loss of calculation accuracy.
